Helping the world to read, with more joy

Book reading is declining, as people find it harder and less enjoyable to read.
To younger generations, it’s just not appealing.
This is a big problem as reading is an essential skill with many positive effects.
Digital reading has not evolved along with our devices and media.

Immer creates the world’s best phone reading experience:

• Text looks and feels amazing, for quick focus and deep immersion
• Our reading tools increase comprehension and recollection
• Groups and goals make reading part of people’s (social) lives

Our all-in-one reading product runs on unique technology:

• We tailor any long-form text to any device and preference automatically, using text analysis
• Reading styles and tools are configured depending on the audience
• We process content catalogs at scale and provide actionable usage insights

Our B2B customers are in the business of reading.
